Brian Evenson Biography

His limited edition novella Baby Leg, was published by New York Tyrant Press in 2009. In 2009 he also published the novel Last Days (which won the American Library Association's award for Best Horror Novel of 2009) and the story collection Fugue State, both of which were on Time Out New York's top books of 2009.

His novel The Open Curtain (Coffee House Press) was a finalist for an Edgar Award and an IHG Award. His work has been translated into French, Italian, Spanish, Japanese and Slovenian. He lives and works in Providence, Rhode Island, where he directs Brown University's Literary Arts Program.

Other books include The Wavering Knife (which won the IHG Award for best story collection), Dark Property, and Altmann's Tongue. He has translated work by Christian Gailly, Jean Frmon, Claro, Jacques Jouet, Eric Chevillard, Antoine Volodine, and others.

Brian Evenson has found a way to take the best of genre fiction and merge it with the best of literary fiction. He is equal parts Edgar Allan Poe and Peter Straub, a blend of Robert Coover and Haruki Murakami.

He has a knack for telling stories that creep up on you, nestling in close, until you look down and realize that your arm is not your own. Its nearly impossible to write fiction that truly scares you, but Evenson is a master. He mixes in the surreal with the religious, moral dilemmas with meta-fiction, until the words leap off the page to infect your life out here in the real world. Immobility is his latest novel, one of post-apocalyptic distress, and Windeye is his latest collection of stories culled from such esteemed journals as Black Warrior Review and Conjunctions. Never simple or formulaic, Evenson is a singularly powerful vision, with a wide range of lessons for us all.
